More of our Texas Adventure

Hello again from Texas. We are back in San Antonio now. We went to McAllen, TX on Tuesday. It took about 5 hours to drive there. This time of year there is not a lot of landscape that isn't brown so it was a long drive. The children did wonderful. I think that David told you that he grew up in McAllen so it was neat for us to see where he lived, went to school and where he went to church. McAllen is right on the border of Mexico so let me tell you we had some great Mexican food. Thank you to Alene Hart for the hospitality. We love you. We got a chance to share our testimonies with First Baptist of McAllen on Wednesday night. This is going to be one of the churches that are prayer partners for us. It was nice to visit and meet the people who will be praying for us. If you are one of those people welcome to the site. We came back to San Antonio on Thursday and we will be staying with David's brothers until next week sometime. The children love spending time with their cousins and we are having a great time spending time with family.

I wanted to tell all of you back in Ft. Myers who came to our going away party thank you so much for coming and seeing us off. We appreciate your prayers and support. You guys are awesome. Thank you especially to Chip and Shannon Dardaman for opening your house.

We have had a lot of requests from people wanting to know where they could send a letter or card or care package. For right now you can send it to 7214 Firethorne Dr. Sarasota, FL 34240. This is David's parents address and they will get these things to us.

I told David when we left that we are now gypsies. It is hard for 5 of us to live out of suitcases. Please pray that we don't become too frustrated with the whole gypsy situation. Also David has a mid term this weekend and it has been hard for him to study while travelling. Pray that he does well. We can feel your prayers as we are travelling. The children have done so great. There has been a lot of sickness running through our extended family. Pray that we don't pick up anything. You all are wonderful!

Hey Delac's
We are so sorry we missed your last Sunday in class. We are missing and praying for you and can't wait to hear all about your experiences. Congrads on the contract on the house. God always comes thru for us, if we are patient.
We love you guys. Keep in touch.
